LENINGRAD, U.S.S.R. — TAKE IT TO THE TUBE. New York Gov. Mario Cuomo ended his weeklong trip to the Soviet Union with a suggestion: Stage a televised ''grand dialogue'' between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. ''Everybody would tune in,'' Cuomo said Friday. ''Every set in the world that could reach it would tune in.'' The Democratic governor said he discussed the idea with State Department officials before leaving for Russia. He also brought it up with Soviet officials. No one has said yes or no so far, he said. Cuomo was to return home Saturday.
